| El34 vs. KT88 I am running Quicksilver mid monos with kt88s, the added power of the kt88s were a big step up from the stock el34s. Mostly in dynamics. | |
| Speaker cables for 4 ohm speakers One quick correction regarding my previous post, I meant to say low inductance and not impedance.Shakedown, why do you need 12ft cables? When I look at your system pics your speakers appear to be close together. Have you thought of locating your p... | |
| Speaker cables for 4 ohm speakers You should be able to connect the cables to two sets of binding post (as if you were bi-wiring) and simply add the jumpers between the posts. This should for all intents and purposes be same as stacking the spades on one post and then adding the j... | |
| Cable help for my AtmaSphere S-30 OTL Amp - Please My guess is that it is related to speaker cables.It is unclear on the exact model and length that you are using. But I would suggest shorter cables.Example if you are using the aural symphonic purples these will likely have high capacitance due to... | |
| Are you a Verificationist about audio? Let me share my Popperian view on this matter.The OP states:A statement about audio is valid ONLY IF it can be verified, and it can be verified ONLY IF there is some finite, repeatable, public procedure for determining whether it is true or false.... | |
| Dedicating circuits and fancy power outlets Yes for the dedicated line! It provides peace of mind.As for the outlet any hospital grade will do from Hubbell or Cooper. The audiophile brands such as Shunyata and others are simply these rebranded and then sold for three to five times the price. | |
| Speaker Cable Different for 8ohm vs 4ohm Al, your voltage divider example does clear things up I think. Let me just clarify one point, is the goal for Vin and Vout to be equal (ie in perfect world where the speaker cable would have no resistance or inductance) such that the voltage outpu... | |
| Boron Cantilever and Ruby Cantilever, Why Ruby? It is fine Berylium particles that are toxic. These get lodged in the lungs and will cause berylliosis a chronique lung disease. Small dosages appear to be sufficient to cause the disease, i.e. exposure to concentrations in the range of 1mg/m3 of ... | |
| Another speaker cable question? Bombaywalla, Learning is what it is all about. So far so good. It is funny you mention Virtual Dynamics, their cables were the inspiration for construction of the 12awg solid core cables or at least for the use of solid core conductors. I chose 12... | |
| Another speaker cable question? Al, thanks for the response as usual it is extremely helpful.I started my trial an error testing last night with two pairs of cables i had lying around. The pair i am currently using (18awg 3ft long, with each wire indipendent from the other)and a... | |
| Cambridge Audio 751 BD or Oppo BDP95? 751 over oppo, two reasons:1- 751 does not have a fan2- I was not able to audition, see or touch the Oppo. Maybe it's just me but if I going to spend $1000, I want to hear and see it before buying.My 751 is about 3 weeks old, and I am loving it. M... | |
